Why does the bottom of the bucket turn yellow?

Toilet water is hard water, also called hard water. In fact, it is rich in minerals, such as calcium and magnesium, responsible for the formation of limestone. When this water stagnates in the container, it promotes scale formation. These unsightly yellow or brown spots are deposits of scales.

Keep in mind that scale not only encroaches on our toilets, but also all of our appliances that use hard water. In addition to being unsightly, limescale deposits lead to excessive energy consumption.

How to find a white bowl?

To remove the yellow stains that cover the walls of the bowl, 3 ingredients come into play: baking soda, white vinegar and salt.

Need:

• 4 tablespoons baking soda
• 3 tablespoons salt
• 1 glass of white vinegar

This preparation costs less than one euro and can be used for up to a month.

Sprinkle the baking soda generously on the sides and bottom of the container. Then sprinkle the salt on the same surfaces covered with baking soda. Let it sit for a few minutes and pour the white vinegar over the stained areas. Leave on for an hour to allow the mixture to work better on the scale deposits. Then rub the yellow stains with the toilet brush and flush the toilet.

What are the cleaning properties of these products?

Baking soda: This multipurpose product is effective in cleaning, degreasing and neutralizing bad odors. It is also a natural stain remover with whitening properties. Baking soda is therefore a natural bleaching agent that will allow you to clean the toilet bowl and whiten it.

White vinegar: Used in the kitchen to season salads, white vinegar is also very effective in cleaning. In fact, it is composed of acetic acid that gives it a cleaning and disinfecting power. The acidity of vinegar also helps kill bacteria and dissolve dirt, grease, and scale deposits. This is why white vinegar is a natural limescale remover, useful for removing scale at the bottom of the container.

Salt: It is also involved in the maintenance of the house. In fact, it is used to clean surfaces, degrease them, but also to remove embedded stains, thanks to the abrasive action of its grains.

What other surfaces can be cleaned?

In addition to descaling and removing the yellow from the bowl, these 3 products will allow you to clean all toilet and bathroom surfaces as well.

Toilet seat: Like the bowl, the seat is also prone to yellowing. To give it shine, sprinkle baking soda on the stains and rub them with a slightly damp microfiber sponge. The abrasive crystals in baking soda will loosen the yellow stains. Then, soak a clean cloth in some white vinegar and wipe it over the bezel to disinfect it.

Faucets and sinks: To remove white limescale residues from faucets and sinks, sprinkle them with baking soda. Next, soak a sponge in Marseille soap and salt and scrub the faucets and sinks to make them shine.

Shower cubicle: Limescale stains and soap residue quickly dirty the shower screen. To clean your shower stall, mix a cup of baking soda with a little water to form a paste that you will spread on the walls of the cabin. Leave on for a few minutes and rub with a sponge. Then wipe down the walls with a cloth soaked in white vinegar to remove any remaining tartar. If the stains are harder to remove, add a little salt to your baking soda paste to make it more abrasive.

These 3 natural and easy-to-reach products will not only allow you to clean your embedded sink, but also your entire bathroom, to restore its whiteness and shine.
